Default What should I look for now?!

I wrecked my 91 CRX Si bout 2 weeks ago and now I'm without a ride ....but I'm still looking for a honda or an acura. I don't have any plans to add any boost in the near future to anything I get, so if I'm just lookin to add i/h/e, chip, and springs, what would get me the most bang for my buck? I loved my Si, but it had a b18, integra LS trans, and ECU and like I said, i loved it. It got me a nice high 14 on a nice warm day. I'm looking for something with WAY more ROOM lol. I.E. something with something resembling a back seat lmao. Budget: $4500 max Year: 93-2000. No prejudice against 4 doors either! Let's hear some feedback for the new kid!

Some cars I'm interested in: Civic coupe VTEC PLZ!(obviously), Integra, Tiburon(FX), Eclipse(95-99), Talon(tsi), Acura Legend, etc.

hm....well lets see there are a couple of routes you can go. you can get a really old car like you had and do an engine swap to it for 4500 bucks. you could get a 92-95 for around that price that has the d series motor in it. you could prolly find a 96-98 for that price with high miles on it. if your looking for what you just had then you are going to need to swap into a b series engine if you dont want to boost.

How exactly do you define sleeper? All I know a sleeper to be is a quick car that doesn't look like it is. But if you're being specific, let me know

I would define it about the same way, it's kinda like back in the day, when we strapped 600 bodies on 750 bikes, and raced people.

It's cheating to the eye :-)

I'm just 6'0 and 185. If i can fit into a CRX i can most likely fit into anything lol. I wouldn't wish the CRX's driver leg room on anyone over 6'2" [:@]
